Starting from a minimal install.
step 1: enable extra repositories
yum install http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm yum install http://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/2.4/rhel/6/x86_64/zabbix-release-2.4-1.el6.noarch.rpm yum install http://dev.mysql.com/get/mysql-community-release-el6-5.noarch.rpm yum install http://nginx.org/packages/centos/6/noarch/RPMS/nginx-release-centos-6-0.el6.ngx.noarch.rpm yum -y update
step 2: configure mysql database
yum -y install mysql-server.x86_64 vim /etc/my.cnf
Your config file should be like these.
Note: I activate binlog without purge because can be useful if you need to recover data or attach a mysql slave.

enable mysql daemon
chkconfig mysqld on start mysql daemon service mysqld start secure mysql installation /usr/bin/mysql_secure_installation
allow incoming 3306 connections
/sbin/iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp --destination-port 3306 -j ACCEPT service iptables save
step 3: configure database backup
This is important because after a lot of power outages and hard disk problems sometimes you can’t recover your database and restore a backup is faster than reinstall or the only way.
yum install wget pbzip2 mysql -uroot -p
create backup user
GRANT LOCK TABLES, SELECT ON *.* TO 'BACKUPUSER'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'PASSWORD'; flush privileges; exit
install AutoMysqlBackup
wget http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/downloads.sourceforge.net/a/au/automysqlbackup/AutoMySQLBackup/AutoMySQLBackup%20VER%203.0/automysqlbackup-v3.0_rc6.tar.gz tar xzvf automysqlbackup-v3.0_rc6.tar.gz /install.sh mkdir /var/backup/ mkdir /var/backup/db
we need to adjust our config file
vim /etc/automysqlbackup/myserver.conf

# This option sends a START TRANSACTION SQL statement to the server before dumping data. It is useful only with
# transactional tables such as InnoDB, because then it dumps the consistent state of the database at the time
# when BEGIN was issued without blocking any applications.
#
# When using this option, you should keep in mind that only InnoDB tables are dumped in a consistent state. For
# example, any MyISAM or MEMORY tables dumped while using this option may still change state.
#
# While a --single-transaction dump is in process, to ensure a valid dump file (correct table contents and
# binary log coordinates), no other connection should use the following statements: ALTER TABLE, CREATE TABLE,
# DROP TABLE, RENAME TABLE, TRUNCATE TABLE. A consistent read is not isolated from those statements, so use of
# them on a table to be dumped can cause the SELECT that is performed by mysqldump to retrieve the table
# contents to obtain incorrect contents or fail.
CONFIG_mysql_dump_single_transaction='yes'
# http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/mysqldump.html#option_mysqldump_master-data
# --master-data[=value]
# Use this option to dump a master replication server to produce a dump file that can be used to set up another
# server as a slave of the master. It causes the dump output to include a CHANGE MASTER TO statement that indicates
# the binary log coordinates (file name and position) of the dumped server. These are the master server coordinates
# from which the slave should start replicating after you load the dump file into the slave.
#
# If the option value is 2, the CHANGE MASTER TO statement is written as an SQL comment, and thus is informative only;
# it has no effect when the dump file is reloaded. If the option value is 1, the statement is not written as a comment
# and takes effect when the dump file is reloaded. If no option value is specified, the default value is 1.
#
# This option requires the RELOAD privilege and the binary log must be enabled.
#
# The --master-data option automatically turns off --lock-tables. It also turns on --lock-all-tables, unless
# --single-transaction also is specified, in which case, a global read lock is acquired only for a short time at the
# beginning of the dump (see the description for --single-transaction). In all cases, any action on logs happens at
# the exact moment of the dump.

# Included stored routines (procedures and functions) for the dumped databases in the output. Use of this option
# requires the SELECT privilege for the mysql.proc table. The output generated by using --routines contains
# CREATE PROCEDURE and CREATE FUNCTION statements to re-create the routines. However, these statements do not
# include attributes such as the routine creation and modification timestamps. This means that when the routines
# are reloaded, they will be created with the timestamps equal to the reload time.
#
# If you require routines to be re-created with their original timestamp attributes, do not use --routines. Instead,
# dump and reload the contents of the mysql.proc table directly, using a MySQL account that has appropriate privileges
# for the mysql database.
#
# This option was added in MySQL 5.0.13. Before that, stored routines are not dumped. Routine DEFINER values are not
# dumped until MySQL 5.0.20. This means that before 5.0.20, when routines are reloaded, they will be created with the
# definer set to the reloading user. If you require routines to be re-created with their original definer, dump and
# load the contents of the mysql.proc table directly as described earlier.

# Create differential backups. Master backups are created weekly at #$CONFIG_do_weekly weekday. Between master backups,

# where each field is separated by the tabular character '\t'. The entries with $ at the beginning mean the actual values,
# while the others are just for readability. The diff_id is the id of the differential or master backup which is also in
# the filename after the last _ and before the suffixes begin, i.e. .diff, .sql and extensions. It is used to relate
# differential backups to master backups. The master backups have 0 as $rel_id and are thereby identifiable. Differential
# backups have the id of the corresponding master backup as $rel_id.

# active: uncommented AND =1
#CONFIG_dryrun=1
at next step we add a cron line to run our backup every day
vim /etc/cron.daily/runmysqlbackup
the content should be like these
#!/bin/sh
/usr/local/bin/automysqlbackup /etc/automysqlbackup/myserver.conf
chown root.root /var/backup/db* -R
find /var/backup/db* -type f -exec chmod 400 {} \;
find /var/backup/db* -type d -exec chmod 700 {} \;
you should make your script executable
chmod +x /etc/cron.daily/runmysqlbackup
if you wanna try just execute
/etc/cron.daily/runmysqlbackup
and check /var/backup/db directory
and now you will have a daily backup 😛
Step 4: Install zabbix server
yum install zabbix-server-mysql zabbix-web-mysql zabbix-agent service zabbix-server start service zabbix-agent start chkconfig zabbix-agent on
we need to create a zabbix database user and a zabbix database
mysql -uroot -p
execute these sentences
create database zabbix character set utf8 collate utf8_bin; grant all privileges on zabbix.* to zabbix@localhost identified by 'zabbixdatabasepasword'; flush privileges; exit
next step is populate table structures
note: sql commands should changue check a should be in /usr/share/doc/zabbix-server-mysql-<version>/create
mysql -uroot -p zabbix &amp;lt; /usr/share/doc/zabbix-server-mysql-2.4.2/create/schema.sql mysql -uroot -p zabbix &amp;lt; /usr/share/doc/zabbix-server-mysql-2.4.2/create/images.sql mysql -uroot -p zabbix &amp;lt; /usr/share/doc/zabbix-server-mysql-2.4.2/create/data.sql
at this point we have out zabbix database its time to link zabbix and database
vim /etc/zabbix/zabbix_server.conf
your config file shoul be like these

its time to start our service and let it enabled
service zabbix-server start chkconfig zabbix-server on setsebool -P zabbix_can_network 1
Step 4: Configure nginx and php-fpm server
We need to install several packages and open port 80 (http)
yum -y install nginx php-common php-fpm /sbin/iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp --destination-port 80 -j ACCEPT service iptables save chkconfig nginx on chkconfig php-fpm on service nginx start service php-fpm start
open a web browser and put your zabbix ip on it you should view a page like these
we need to adjust some php values
vim /etc/php.ini
changue these values
max_execution_time = 300 max_input_time = 300 post_max_size = 16M date.timezone = Europe/Madrid cgi.fix_pathinfo=1
if you don’t live in Spain here you have a list of timezones http://php.net/manual/en/timezones.php
next step is add zabbix domain to nginx
vim /etc/nginx/conf.d/zabbix.conf
file should look like these
server {
server_name zabbix.example.org;
root /var/www/zabbix;
index index.html index.php;
access_log /var/log/nginx/access_zabbix.log main;
error_log /var/log/nginx/error_zabbix.log error
location ~ \.php {
include fastcgi_params;
try_files $uri =404;
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
#fastcgi_intercept_errors on;
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php-zabbix.socket;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params;
}
}
next step is configure zabbix in php-fpm pool
mkdir /var/lib/php/zabbix_php-fpm chmod 770 /var/lib/php/zabbix_php-fpm/ chown root:nginx /var/lib/php/zabbix_php-fpm/ vim /etc/php-fpm.d/zabbix.conf
config file should be like these
; Start a new pool named 'zabbix'. [zabbix] ; The address on which to accept FastCGI requests. ; Valid syntaxes are: ; 'ip.add.re.ss:port' - to listen on a TCP socket to a specific address on ; a specific port; ; 'port' - to listen on a TCP socket to all addresses on a ; specific port; ; '/path/to/unix/socket' - to listen on a unix socket. ; Note: This value is mandatory. listen = /var/run/php-zabbix.socket ; Set listen(2) backlog. A value of '-1' means unlimited. ; Default Value: -1 ;listen.backlog = -1 ; List of ipv4 addresses of FastCGI clients which are allowed to connect. ; Equivalent to the FCGI_WEB_SERVER_ADDRS environment variable in the original ; PHP FCGI (5.2.2+). Makes sense only with a tcp listening socket. Each address ; must be separated by a comma. If this value is left blank, connections will be ; accepted from any ip address. ; Default Value: any ;listen.allowed_clients = 127.0.0.1 ; Set permissions for unix socket, if one is used. In Linux, read/write ; permissions must be set in order to allow connections from a web server. Many ; BSD-derived systems allow connections regardless of permissions. ; Default Values: user and group are set as the running user ; mode is set to 0666 listen.owner = nginx listen.group = nginx listen.mode = 0666 ; Unix user/group of processes ; Note: The user is mandatory. If the group is not set, the default user's group ; will be used. ; RPM: apache Choosed to be able to access some dir as httpd user = nginx ; RPM: Keep a group allowed to write in log dir. group = nginx ; Choose how the process manager will control the number of child processes. ; Possible Values: ; static - a fixed number (pm.max_children) of child processes; ; dynamic - the number of child processes are set dynamically based on the ; following directives: ; pm.max_children - the maximum number of children that can ; be alive at the same time. ; pm.start_servers - the number of children created on startup. ; pm.min_spare_servers - the minimum number of children in 'idle' ; state (waiting to process). If the number ; of 'idle' processes is less than this ; number then some children will be created. ; pm.max_spare_servers - the maximum number of children in 'idle' ; state (waiting to process). If the number ; of 'idle' processes is greater than this ; number then some children will be killed. ; Note: This value is mandatory. pm = dynamic ; The number of child processes to be created when pm is set to 'static' and the ; maximum number of child processes to be created when pm is set to 'dynamic'. ; This value sets the limit on the number of simultaneous requests that will be ; served. Equivalent to the ApacheMaxClients directive with mpm_prefork. ; Equivalent to the PHP_FCGI_CHILDREN environment variable in the original PHP ; CGI. ; Note: Used when pm is set to either 'static' or 'dynamic' ; Note: This value is mandatory. pm.max_children = 50 ; The number of child processes created on startup. ; Note: Used only when pm is set to 'dynamic' ; Default Value: min_spare_servers + (max_spare_servers - min_spare_servers) / 2 pm.start_servers = 5 ; The desired minimum number of idle server processes. ; Note: Used only when pm is set to 'dynamic' ; Note: Mandatory when pm is set to 'dynamic' pm.min_spare_servers = 5 ; The desired maximum number of idle server processes. ; Note: Used only when pm is set to 'dynamic' ; Note: Mandatory when pm is set to 'dynamic' pm.max_spare_servers = 35 ; The number of requests each child process should execute before respawning. ; This can be useful to work around memory leaks in 3rd party libraries. For ; endless request processing specify '0'. Equivalent to PHP_FCGI_MAX_REQUESTS. ; Default Value: 0 ;pm.max_requests = 500 ; The URI to view the FPM status page. If this value is not set, no URI will be ; recognized as a status page. By default, the status page shows the following ; information: ; accepted conn - the number of request accepted by the pool; ; pool - the name of the pool; ; process manager - static or dynamic; ; idle processes - the number of idle processes; ; active processes - the number of active processes; ; total processes - the number of idle + active processes. ; The values of 'idle processes', 'active processes' and 'total processes' are ; updated each second. The value of 'accepted conn' is updated in real time. ; Example output: ; accepted conn: 12073 ; pool: www ; process manager: static ; idle processes: 35 ; active processes: 65 ; total processes: 100 ; By default the status page output is formatted as text/plain. Passing either ; 'html' or 'json' as a query string will return the corresponding output ; syntax. Example: ; ; ; ; Note: The value must start with a leading slash (/). The value can be ; anything, but it may not be a good idea to use the .php extension or it ; may conflict with a real PHP file. ; Default Value: not set ;pm.status_path = /status ; The ping URI to call the monitoring page of FPM. If this value is not set, no ; URI will be recognized as a ping page. This could be used to test from outside ; that FPM is alive and responding, or to ; - create a graph of FPM availability (rrd or such); ; - remove a server from a group if it is not responding (load balancing); ; - trigger alerts for the operating team (24/7). ; Note: The value must start with a leading slash (/). The value can be ; anything, but it may not be a good idea to use the .php extension or it ; may conflict with a real PHP file. ; Default Value: not set ;ping.path = /ping ; This directive may be used to customize the response of a ping request. The ; response is formatted as text/plain with a 200 response code. ; Default Value: pong ;ping.response = pong ; The timeout for serving a single request after which the worker process will ; be killed. This option should be used when the 'max_execution_time' ini option ; does not stop script execution for some reason. A value of '0' means 'off'. ; Available units: s(econds)(default), m(inutes), h(ours), or d(ays) ; Default Value: 0 ;request_terminate_timeout = 0 ; The timeout for serving a single request after which a PHP backtrace will be ; dumped to the 'slowlog' file. A value of '0s' means 'off'. ; Available units: s(econds)(default), m(inutes), h(ours), or d(ays) ; Default Value: 0 ;request_slowlog_timeout = 0 ; The log file for slow requests ; Default Value: not set ; Note: slowlog is mandatory if request_slowlog_timeout is set slowlog = /var/log/php-fpm/zabbix-slow.log ; Set open file descriptor rlimit. ; Default Value: system defined value ;rlimit_files = 1024 ; Set max core size rlimit. ; Possible Values: 'unlimited' or an integer greater or equal to 0 ; Default Value: system defined value ;rlimit_core = 0 ; Chroot to this directory at the start. This value must be defined as an ; absolute path. When this value is not set, chroot is not used. ; Note: chrooting is a great security feature and should be used whenever ; possible. However, all PHP paths will be relative to the chroot ; (error_log, sessions.save_path, ...). ; Default Value: not set ;chroot = ; Chdir to this directory at the start. This value must be an absolute path. ; Default Value: current directory or / when chroot ;chdir = /var/www ; Redirect worker stdout and stderr into main error log. If not set, stdout and ; stderr will be redirected to /dev/null according to FastCGI specs. ; Default Value: no catch_workers_output = yes ; Limits the extensions of the main script FPM will allow to parse. This can ; prevent configuration mistakes on the web server side. You should only limit ; FPM to .php extensions to prevent malicious users to use other extensions to ; exectute php code. ; Note: set an empty value to allow all extensions. ; Default Value: .php security.limit_extensions = .php .php3 .php4 .php5 ; Pass environment variables like LD_LIBRARY_PATH. All $VARIABLEs are taken from ; the current environment. ; Default Value: clean env ;env[HOSTNAME] = $HOSTNAME ;env[PATH] = /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin ;env[TMP] = /tmp ;env[TMPDIR] = /tmp ;env[TEMP] = /tmp ; Additional php.ini defines, specific to this pool of workers. These settings ; overwrite the values previously defined in the php.ini. The directives are the ; same as the PHP SAPI: ; php_value/php_flag - you can set classic ini defines which can ; be overwritten from PHP call 'ini_set'. ; php_admin_value/php_admin_flag - these directives won't be overwritten by ; PHP call 'ini_set' ; For php_*flag, valid values are on, off, 1, 0, true, false, yes or no. ; Defining 'extension' will load the corresponding shared extension from ; extension_dir. Defining 'disable_functions' or 'disable_classes' will not ; overwrite previously defined php.ini values, but will append the new value ; instead. ; Default Value: nothing is defined by default except the values in php.ini and ; specified at startup with the -d argument ;php_admin_value[sendmail_path] = /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i -f www@my.domain.com ;php_flag[display_errors] = off php_admin_value[error_log] = /var/log/php-fpm/zabbix-error.log php_admin_flag[log_errors] = on ;php_admin_value[memory_limit] = 128M ; Set session path to a directory owned by process user php_value[session.save_handler] = files php_value[session.save_path] = /var/lib/php/zabbix_php-fpm/
